I've been thinking about how weak we have been prosecuting this war. How the president has to outline and make a policy that we will now go after Iranian operatives trying to undermine Iraq. What ever happened to our army fighting an all out war? Why would we need to get presidential approval for that? I'm convinced we need to change the rules of engagement in this war to win.

Now don't get me wrong, I am a supporter of the president but he is handcuffed by lawyers throughout the Pentagon and the Military. Rules of engagement should protect our troops and be made with the goal in mind to win the war not protect the U.S. from liability. We should be able to return fire no matter where the fire is coming from, a mosque, a school, a house. And we should also impose a media blackout in Baghdad and then move to crush the militias and insurgents. This should have been done the minute Sadr refused to disarm.

That is what our Senate should be voting on, a resolution to encourage the president to do whatever it takes for victory. Our GOP has gone over the cliff and I feel I've no home anymore.

Where have all the real warriors gone? Where is Winston Churchill, where is General Patton, General MacArthur, President Reagan?
